It also explores and determines the benefits of participating in Tantric sex, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The paper also touches briefly on different resources available to those who are interested in learning and practicing the art of Tantra.

From the Paper:

"While Tantra is not a religious philosophy, it does embrace a deep understanding of life, and an ancient art of living in harmony with self, others, and the world around us. Those who practice Tantra are encouraged to treat sexual energy as an ally, rather than something whispered about and avoided. The spiritual path of Tantra says that sexual intercourse is sacred and divine, not a sin. However, Tantra does not ask its followers to repress their sexual urges in order to encounter God, but rather it supports the development of the vital sexual energy inside each individual as the means of achieving union with God."
